About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have my personal designed houses on every continent =)

ABOUT ME

After I graduated at the Faculty of Architecture I sold pretty much everything I had, quit my job and bought my around the world tickets. Without knowing what's my next step, I simply enjoy life day by day. I'm a big dreamer and at the same time I'm pretty down to earth. I like to see the good in everyone I meet and I'm always curious about what's the story behind a face, the look and a smile of a person. I believe every person had his share of bad luck, and eventually that's a part of life. Everyone falls sometimes, but we fall to learn how to get up again and to learn from our mistakes. I enjoy people who talk because they have something to say instead of people who talk because they want to say something. I am a big believer that one person does can make a change and eventually, there will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change things in your life, or you’re the one that will change theirs

PHILOSOPHY

- "Live is so beautiful, do not lose your chance to discover it"
- "Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value"
- "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge"
- it doesn't always need to be about the actions. Sometimes It’s more about the quality of the intentions

- I learned to let go. I learned that the friends we have, the friends we make and the people we meet, can have an important role in our history, but aren't necessarily a part of our destiny. Letting go means coming to the conclusion that it can be the end of something but eventually, in this life every ending is a just a new beginning.
